747 parked at CT for a few days

Anyone know what aircraft this is and why it's been there for a few days? It's parked nearly parallel to the runway on the far side of the runway (i.e. away from the terminal)

You get that often in CPT - no space on A or B bays for parking so they put it on a taxiway

Boss is here on holiday -

ACSA used to use D1 as a parking overflow area but that taxiway is used to gain access to the SAPS hangars. D3/4 are now used for the overflow, the main advantage is that the a/c can either be towed over there, or taxied there and it has 2 access routes, so easier to use. It still allows us to move a/c around and by parking them on D3/4 they do not get in the way
